The three arrived at a hotel and asked for a private room. After all, the money Qi Ling had was given to her by the insightful Constable Qian Qi Ling, so why not spend it?
After being seated and having ordered their food and drinks, Yang Qianqiong immediately began to devour the food with gusto. Not only was Qi Ling quite shocked, but even Hua Wanzi seemed unable to bear it any longer, gently patting her and saying, "Be more refined! Don't you remember you're a girl?"
"Oh, I see, Senior Sister," Yang Qianqiong said, and indeed ate a little slower.
After a brief conversation, mostly Qi Ling and Hua Wanzi talking, while Yang Qianqiong mostly ate, Hua Wanzi learned of Qi Ling's request but decisively said, "Sorry, based on your explanation alone, I can't let you see our sect leader. You're too suspicious!"
Qi Ling gave a wry smile. Sure enough, this person wasn't so easy to fool. She had thought that she could get past her with her personal charm.
"Moreover, that's not all. Mr. Qi Ling, I also suspect you have some connection with the imperial court!" Hua Wanzi said sharply. " Qianqiong is naive and easily believed you, but why were you attacked by the rebel army and then found yourself in the government office?"
Qi Ling was speechless. There was really no way to explain this. She couldn't very well say that she had only recently learned that she was actually Azure Dragon, the commander-in-chief of the Brocade Guard, because the two of them would probably draw their swords against each other immediately.
All of this can be explained once I see Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong will believe me unconditionally. But before that, I really have to use a lie to cover up my previous lie.
After all, even Qi Ling can now be considered a fictional character; what other choice do we have but to do this?
Seeing that Qi Ling was being suspected by Hua Wanzi, Yang Qianqiong said anxiously, "Senior Sister, you've misunderstood! Qi Ling is a good person! He definitely wouldn't be a bad person, I can feel it!"
Hua Wanzi then said, " Qianqiong, I know that because of your cultivation technique, you can sense whether other people are good or bad, but you must know that not all bad people can be seen from their faces!"
"Some people, you can't tell what kind of person they are from their appearance at all, and you can't imagine what they might do! After all, sometimes, depending on their position, a good person can turn into a bad person."
Qi Ling couldn't refute what Hua Wanzi said; she couldn't possibly lie without blushing or skipping a beat.
After the meal, Hua Wanzi took Yang Qianqiong and left. After all, if Qi Ling really was a government official, they couldn't do anything to Qi Ling, and should even pray that Qi Ling wouldn't do anything to them.
"Oh dear, what can we do? Our only hope is gone," Qi Ling thought helplessly. But then he remembered that he had a spy within the Light Observation Hall.
Although he couldn't contact her, he thought that if he went to the Light Observation Hall, he might be able to find some clues. Perhaps Qi Ling could find the key from this undercover agent.
So when night fell, Qi Ling took advantage of the darkness and quietly climbed over the side into Hall of Healing, intending to sneak in and search it. Hall of Healing probably didn't expect anyone to dare to challenge Light Observation Hall, so their defenses were very lax.
After searching the Hall of Healing thoroughly, Qi Ling even found Yang Qianqiong's underwear, which she had inexplicably left under the table, but she still couldn't find any clues about the undercover agent.
That makes sense. If an undercover agent were so easily discovered, they certainly wouldn't last long! At the very least, there's no way there could be any evidence that could be found out openly, or perhaps it simply doesn't exist.
Just as Qi Ling was about to leave empty-handed, a long sword suddenly appeared behind her and was placed against Qi Ling neck, making Qi Ling heart skip a beat and realize she was doomed.
He slowly turned around, and the person holding the sword was none other than Hua Wanzi, whom he had seen during the day! At this moment, Hua Wanzi had an icy expression, and the anger in her eyes could not be hidden, as if she wanted to kill Qi Ling with her eyes.
"This, Miss Hua, let me explain, I..." Qi Ling was about to speak when Hua Wanzi's sword moved even closer to Qi Ling, the icy touch forcing Qi Ling to shut her mouth.
"Turn around and let's go!" Hua Wanzi said, gesturing for Qi Ling to turn around. Then she guided Qi Ling forward from behind. The two walked through the courtyard of Hall of Healing and eventually arrived directly in Hua Wanzi's own room.
After the two entered the room, Hua Wanzi carefully locked the door from the inside and made sure no one would enter or eavesdrop before turning around.
Just as Qi Ling was about to explain, Hua Wanzi suddenly did something very surprising. In front of Qi Ling, she began to take off her clothes without stopping until she was only wearing a close-fitting undershirt.
"Miss Hua, what are you doing! I, Qi Ling, am a gentleman, and I would never be swayed by beauty..." Qi Ling stopped mid-sentence, for he knew what Hua Wanzi's purpose was.
After Hua Wanzi Hua Wanzi took off her clothes, a Azure Dragon was embroidered on her undergarment! Qi Ling was so surprised because the Azure Dragon pattern was exactly the same as the tattoo she had hidden on her body.
This is definitely not a coincidence, otherwise Hua Wanzi would not have made a point of revealing it. There is only one possibility: Hua Wanzi is the spy that Azure Dragon planted in the Light Observation Hall.
Hua Wanzi's subsequent actions confirmed Qi Ling's suspicions. Completely unconcerned about the glimpse of her exposed body, she knelt on one knee and said, "Your subordinate, Hua Wanzi, greets Lord Azure Dragon!"
Qi Ling felt a wave of confusion wash over her. This world was far too chaotic, exceeding her wildest imagination. The revered and beloved female knight-errant, the perfect goddess of countless young talents, was actually a spy planted by the imperial court within the Light Observation Hall? What kind of human suffering was this?
Qi Ling originally thought that this undercover agent was probably some inconspicuous person. After all, staying out of the limelight would reduce the risk of exposure and allow for better communication of information.
But now it seems that Hua Wanzi is doing the opposite of what was expected, since no one would have thought that someone like her would be an undercover agent!
But now that things had come to this, Qi Ling naturally couldn't give himself away, so he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Ah, well... you did very well, it was beyond my expectations! But how did you recognize me?"
Hua Wanzi burst into laughter, a smile she had never shown before, "The tattoos on your body, sir, may fool others, but they can't fool me. No matter how you disguise yourself, I can recognize them at a glance."
